Austrian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Resolution (ASPR)

http://www.aspr.ac.at/aspr.htm

Aims

The ASPR is an independent, non-profit and non-partisan organization. The ASPR aims to contribute to the promotion of peace and peaceful conflict resolution and to the dissemination of practical ideas for peace, including its developmental and environmental aspects.

Activities

The ASPR conducts and evaluates research in line with its objectives, engages in training and education, and conducts scientific courses. It also publishes several periodicals (Dialog, Friedensforum, Friedensbericht) dealing with peace issues. Several major conferences are organised each year, including a summer academy and an annual international meeting of peace researchers on "The State of Peace." ASPR was the founder of the European University Center for Peace Studies (EPU).

Publications and other Resources

The website contains working papers and reports from ASPR conferences available at no charge in PDF format in both Dutch and English. The website also features a very comprehensive list of links to Austrian peace institutes and security related resources from all around the world.
